As a repeating small donor to Trump beginning in August 2015, I can only trust to the Almighty to save this nation. The American people will not.
Trump is much too interested in defending his wealth, his business and personal conduct while the issues which won him the nomination suffer.
With rampant immorality on display on all sides, it’s too much to hope that He Above will intervene on behalf of either candidate.

As every member of UT’s Board of Regents who promulgated this outrageous procedure for admission were appointed by either republican governors, Abbott or Perry, there seems to be no way to change left wing policies even through election of those who mouth conservative principals.

When these Lefty RINOs and demorats wake up to a probability that Donald Trump will be wielding executive power and its ramifications (using the same methods that this corruption uses against conservatives as payback) there may actually be a rush to stop this overreach. When the Donald takes office he should inform them that their action is too late and that he will be using even extended executive power to even out the abuse suffered by decent patriotic Americans these last many years and proceed to use the IRS, NSA, ATF, EPA, SEC and every other administrative agency to expose the LEFT to vilification, intimidation, blackmail, and prosecution in the same manner used in the Obama Administration.

It was the wild card game last year. The Royals were behind 3-7 and we scored 3 runs in the 8th then another to tie in the 9th and eventually won the game. Went on to win 3 straight games in the next 5 game series then 4 straight in the 7 game series, then went to a 3-3 in the world series but lost in the 7th game. A great year for the Royals and this one could be another.

Possibly some delegates could go to Rubio, if he is over 15% in vote totals. This is the story in most of the primaries. Some of the states have a 20% threshold for sharing in delegates. If the polls hold as they are now, Trump is unstoppable.

If these percentages hold, according to Virginia Primary rules no candidate that receives less than 15% of the vote gets any delegates. Trump would get the most delegates and Carson would get some. If they do not change the rules between now and the March 1 primary. Bush and other rinos would get no delegates.

I think TPP is now toast. With Hillary joining Sanders in opposition among the democrats and the Trump, Cruz opposition as well as the renewed strength of the conservative caucus in Congress it will be rejected. Not sure if both houses must disapprove but it only takes a simple majority in the houses to block.

Taking a look at the Republican Primary and Caucus rules for 2016, I do not think it is possible to stop Trump. The rules overwhelming favor a candidate that gets the plurality of the vote, especially the primary system. The establishment cooked up this system to engineer a victory for the establishment candidate believing that the outsider candidates would split the vote of the more conservative voters (see 2012 and 2008) and the single establishment candidate would get the plurality and win the great majority of delegates to the convention. This has backfired bigtime. Unless there is an earthshaking development or a Trump withdrawal, Trump is almost fore ordained to win the plurality of votes in any primary. With almost all the big states having primaries that do not permit any delegates to candidates who do not reach a threshold of 20% of the vote. It looks like Trump would gather almost all the delegates in those states. As polls stand right now it is possible that Carson, Rubio and Cruz could gather a few delegates but insubstantial compared to Trump. There are 34 or so primary states and they are mostly the big states. The non primary or caucus states are where the establishment had a better hand but those are the very states that more conservative republicans have the better hand. Stopping Trump is going to be almost impossible if he continues to lead the field in popularity.

Who would think that the Vicar of Christ could spend four days in the U S giving multiple public addresses and not mention the word “Christ” except in a mass. I suppose it would be “divisive” to utter that word in the public sphere.

Checking the identity of the governing officials in Ferguson, MO and the County of St Louis. The following was found online: The Mayor of Ferguson is black. The Chief Executive Officer of St Louis County is black and a democrat. The County Council is democrat 5-2. The Prosecuting Attorney which the blacks fear will be prejudiced in favor of the Ferguson police officer is a democrat. If I was the white police officer whose fate could be determined by these politicians I would be very, very worried. The black racists in St Louis will settle for nothing less than taking the policeman out for a lynching.

Best get ready for another Benghazi. Obama, get some kind of video ready to use so you can lay the blame on someone else when our embassy is overrun. This is like Vietnam all over again. The tragic loss of life because our government has totally lost the will to conduct a war in order to win a war. Our politicians will never resist the temptation to turn our armed forces from warriors to peacekeepers and nation builders.

As I look at the map. Russia has no land connection to Crimea. They have only air and sea connections. I believe they will establish such a connection. The southeast of Ukraine will be occupied by Russia within a short time to establish this connection. Also most of that area needed to establish that connection is Russian both ethnically and linguistically. Europe and the US can be expected to put up a lot of protests and perhaps some meaningless sanctions. Not much else. Americans would soundly reject any use of our military to counter the Russians. Any US politicians voting for such measures would be handed their heads by the electorate this November. And as for Europe, they are almost as terrified about any use of force against Russia as they would be losing the oil and gas furnished by Russia to Europe.

Those who think the West will respond to Putin in regard to Ukraine should forget about it. Not gonna happen. And if it did happen with The Obama in charge we would wish it didn’t. Western Europe is dependent on the oil and gas they get from Putin. Sure Putin needs the funds he gets from Europe but he can certainly survive for a lot longer than Europe can without heat in their homes and power for their factories. It was reported on TV that we had to turn to Putin to get our supplies via rail through Eastern Russia to our troops in Afghanistan after Pakistan, our erstwhile ally refused to allow transit through their country. We are so screwed!!!

This nation is unwilling to take even the elemental step of a sovereign nation when it refuses to police its own borders.

A bankrupt nation whose political leaders (of all parties) have abandoned any attempt to stop 10 to 20 million invaders over the last two decades can not be seriously viewed as a power to enforce any action in favor of our allies or against our opponents. Americans have long ago ruined any chance to control their own destiny by way of electing politicians who promise their voters the spoils they can seize from others. At the same time these politicians are refusing to fund a military for defense of the nation.

Last century a law was passed along with a Constitutional Amendment ratified by over 30 states of the Union prohibiting the sale of alcohol. It was by all accounts the settled Law of the Nation. And what happened to that settled law. It was later repealed by a overwhelming vote in Congress as well as the vote of the States of the Union. So much for the history of settled law.

Nothing indicates the abject failure of the Republican Party like the Democrat leader (Reid) offer to use democrat’s alloted time to a Standard Bearer of the Republican Party (McCain) to launch a vitriolic attack against a fellow republican (Cruz).

Detroit bonds, just another fine investment for the Federal Reserve System. Obama will not get Congress to go along with a Detroit bailout but he can always count on The Bernake to come to the rescue. After all there is no investment too risky for the Federal Reserve System.

I believe this was tried once almost 200 years ago. Liberia was founded on this principle. The trouble came when those that went found out what the weather and living conditions were in Liberia they could not wait to return and today there are almost no residual descendants of former American Blacks in country.

Nancy Grace plays Madame LaFarge even better than the actual character. Is America about to be governed by the American equivalent of the fishwives of Paris with the rabid Nancy Grace and her foaming at the mouth HLN crew. They are the media mouthpieces for rioting mobs in our cities. CNN and MSNBC are fiercely competing for leadership of the rabble. Does Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton get to play the role of Marat and Obama as Robespierre? If this lawlessness is not put down quickly we could see mobs attacking the jurors as well as the attorneys West and Omara and the Zimmerman family. This tragic affair was created by the media casting George Zimmerman as the most vicious murderer of the past century with the pathetically ignorant believing same.

I can not believe that any conservative whether libertarian leaning or not can support the Patriot Act when it is administrated by Obama minions. This administration does not believe in the Law. It refuses to enforce any laws it believe objectionable (immigration laws) and it violates any laws that it chooses (IRS laws that prohibits disclosing tax returns and equal administration of the IRS law). If I had to choose between the Chinese snooping on my internet communications and the tyranny of Obama, the choice would be easy to make. The Chinese do not operate the IRS and have more than enough on their plate in spying on their own people to worry about me or any Americans. I am speaking as an American that has spent the last 8 months defending myself from the IRS ending in total vindication but only after spending countless hours and sending reams of paper to them to prove my position.

Impeachment proceedings in the House would be a waste of effort because not even republicans in the senate would support his removal and when it fails those supporting impeachment would be villified by the media as racist. Let Obama just continue to rot in office, he is not going to be removed. Forget it. Continue to point out the tyranny of his government and maybe the American people will awaken. Don’t count on that either

We have a government that uses the IRS to begin the persecution of American citizens who are opposed to policies of the government. The IRS then refers this unreconstructed conservative to other agencies which proceeds with visits to the taxpayer by agents of the FBI to investigate the conservative taxpayer for possible terrorist activity, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Agency to check on the taxpayers firearms, then the EPA for possible violations of some environmental regulation and then OSHA for possible violations of workplace regulations. The IRS has become the Grand Inquisition, the Gestapo, the NKVD and the Stasi all combined. Any one believing that we live in a free country should better reconsider the facts.

I remember during the Nixon Adm Watergate episode the media repeated the leftist democrat slogan, “The Fish Rots from the Head” ad nauseum. Conservatives should start each and every conservation with the leftist media in like manner.

If only Obama had a closet conservative in his inner office as Nixon employed a closet liberal, John Dean. Democrats are usually much more careful about employing only leftwing purists, not like Republicans who will often employ leftwingers rather than conservatives on their staffs.

According to the Inspector General for Treasury, Sec Jack Lew was advised of their audit of the IRS in March ‘13 two months before Obama says he was aware of this from listening to TV news. Since he has spent over one month in total time going to and from fund raisers, wasteful overseas sightseeing and on various golf courses, perhaps he was never in the Oval Office long enough for his minions to give him a heads up. I personally do not believe he was not advised but under the circumstances, I suppose it’s possible. Since the IRS probably monitors Free Republic and Facebook maybe I should expect an IRS audit

Too bad they did not also target those numerous groups that have the word “Fair” and “Balanced” in their description. If they had, most of the leftist tax exempt groups would still be waiting for their exemptions.

Well let’s see. After supervising IRS personnel who ask taxpayers the contents of their prayers and the books they read, is given a $100,000+ bonus and a promotion to supervise the IRS handling of Obamacare will now get to terrorize the 50% of Americans that do not pay income taxes. Yippee.

There is not the slightest doubt but that the republicans will cave if they start out by opposing the lifting of the debt ceiling and/or opposing the removal of the so-called “sequestration”. By initially opposing then shifting and supporting democrat maneuvers, it is not only disgraceful but suicidal to the republican party in the eyes of the electorate both leftist and conservatives. But unfortunately that is the modus operandi of this totally dysfunctional party that I am ashamed to admit I used to support.

With respect to the economic measures this administration wishes to pursue tell the American people, elections have consequences and they will abstain from voting for or against the wishes of the American voter and their elected leader. Tell the U S public that since they voted for Marxist Keynesian programs, the GOP will not stand in the way. If and when the populace come to its senses we will lead again until then just remind the people it will fail but this is what they wanted and this is what they will get.

Why do Conservatives continue to beat their heads against the wall? We are not going to able to persuade the majority of Americans to change their ways. Come hell or high water they are going to vote for spendocrats until hell freezes over. Anyone believing to the contrary needs to have their head examined. I firmly believe we should just join up with the program and borrow and spend until such time as our ignorant creditors turn off the money spigot. If we are lucky we might be dead by that time and we will have enjoyed the fruits of the labor of our ignorant creditors.

In any event, when they finally awake to their catastrophic mistake we should simply tell them (as did the Icelanders) were sorry but as you well know or should have known there is no money to pay our debts. You ignorant creditors are SOL. At that point, of course, the government programs will collapse as we will have been borrowing at that time almost every penny the government is spending. So it will be every man for himself and conservatives had better be prepared by having spent their money on hard assets, guns and groceries for the day of reckoning.

Perhaps after the collapse we can restructure our government in such a way as to reimpose the values of our forefathers with a few restraints on government that they did not think to impose.

Amen to that. Payne is the very best. I so admire him. He tells it like it is. Too bad his is virtually alone in the media. Rick Santelli is a close second but he is hampered by the overwhelming leftists on CNBC (Cramer, Sorkin, Quick, Quintanilla, Lee, Faber, and Hobbs to name but a few.)

“Give them everything they want. 90 percent tax rates? Sure. Go ahead. Lets get it over with. Rome died a slow death. Id just as soon the poison work more quickly, thanks.”

Absolutely agree. Let Obama propose the most horrendous tax increase believing that the PUBs will oppose and negotiate it down, then surprise, surprise, overwhelmingly approve same. This nation is going to collapse, just let it happen quickly so our children can live to see a resurrection during their lifetime rather than years and years of misery.

If only the House Republicans would give the President all the tax increases and spending increase he wants. The conservatives will never stop the Progressive Insanity by trying to reason with the moochers and brain dead American People. When the economy drops like a stone and there is neither revenue nor borrowing ability to continue with their agenda and therefore no ability to bribe the electorate, they will start to starve and then riot. Hopefully we can then reclaim the country.
